Motion City Soundtrack

A respected light within the punk-pop genre, Movement Town Soundtrack include associates Joshua Cain (electric guitar), Tony Thaxton (drums), Justin Pierre (vocals/electric guitar), Jesse Johnson (Moog), and Matthew Taylor (bass). Pursuing their high-school graduation, Minneapolis natives Pierre and Cain — both of whom had been inspired by SUNSHINEY DAY PROPERTY, Jawbox, the Flaming Lip area, and Superchunk — produced the music group in 1999. The set assembled a short-term lineup and released a self-released 7″ that same calendar year. Afterwards, while touring through Pa to get their release, Movement City Soundtrack fulfilled Thaxton and Taylor from the Virginia-based music group Submerge. Both musicians made a decision to keep their hometown of Richmond, Virginia, to become listed on Movement Town Soundtrack full-time, as well as the extended music group soon came into the studio room with maker/engineer Ed Rose (the GET RIGHT UP Kids, Best Fakebook). Three weeks just before documenting commenced, these were also became a member of by keyboardist Jesse Johnson (whose personal record label, Common Records, had released a few of Jimmy Eat World’s first materials in 1995) to alleviate vocalist/guitarist Pierre of his synthesizer responsibilities. With a fresh lineup firmly set up, the band’s punk-glazed debut, I Am the Film, premiered in the summertime of 2003. While playing locations and basements to get the recording, Movement Town Soundtrack was found by Epitaph Information; later, they became a member of blink-182 on the tour through European countries and Japan. Blink’s bassist, Tag Hoppus, got a liking towards the music group and decided to create its next recording; the ensuing Commit This to Memory space was released 2 yrs later and presented an extremely pop-heavy audio. A deluxe edition from the recording (filled with reward DVD) made an appearance in 2006, as well as the music group spent the summertime within the Warped Tour before going to European countries with OK Proceed that fall. Getting into the studio room for the 3rd time, Movement City Soundtrack started to work with makers Adam Schlesinger (of Fountains of Wayne), Eli Janney (of Women Against Kids), and Ric Ocasek (from the Vehicles). The finished product, EVEN THOUGH It Kills Me, premiered in Sept 2007. EVEN THOUGH It Kills Me damaged the very best 20 during its initial week, getting the group’s highest-charting record to date. Main labels had taken notice, and by the next summer the music group had signed a fresh agreement with Columbia Information. Wanting to capitalize on such momentum, Movement Town Soundtrack quickly covered up their Warped Tour commitments, wrote brand-new material through the latter 1 / 2 of 2008, and came back to the documenting studio room with Tag Hoppus. My Dinosaur Lifestyle was finished by June 2009 and released early the next calendar year, with “Disappear” portion as the business lead single. Following a couple many years of touring, which discovered them making prevents all around the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA aswell the U.K. and Brazil, Movement City Soundtrack returned into the studio room in 2011 to focus on brand-new material. Their 5th record, Go, found its way to 2012 on Epitaph. The bandmembers composed their next record while on the Warped Tour, and earned John Agnello (Sonic Youngsters, Kurt Vile) to create, with the purpose of trying to complement the energy of the concert events. They made a decision to record the music live, an initial for the group, at Underbelly North, previously Pachyderm Studio room, where Nirvana’s In Utero was documented. After rehearsals, the radiant Panic Channels was documented over 2 weeks in June 2014 and released in Sept 2015.
